Botox for hyperhydrosis is a treatment using Botox injections to help with excess sweating. Botox injections work by blocking the secretion of the chemical that activates sweat glands – essentially turning them off. The injections are very shallow – the medicine is injected just below the surface of the skin, where it remains.

While everyone breaks down the Botox injections differently, typically you can expect three to six months of results from your injection. It is important to note that stress and exercise can cause the Botox injection to fade quicker.

Research shows it is safe to treat excessive sweating on: armpits, hands, feet and other relatively small body areas.

Botox injections have been shown to result in an 82-87% decrease in sweating under the arms. Patients typically notice results in about 2-4 days after treatment. They usually enjoy the full effects of the treatment within 2 weeks.

Although sweating is a vital part of the body’s processes as it helps with temperature control, it is safe to diminish or prevent sweating in a small, localized area because you are only impacting a small percentage of the body’s cooling system. For example, the sweat glands in the underarms are only 2% of the sweat glands in the body.

Botox injections are a very safe and effective way to combat excessive sweat problems. Take the first step by calling us today to see if you are a candidate.

Excessive sweating is uncomfortable, and can be embarrassing. And it can ruin a holiday event for you, along with your clothing. Even during the winter, excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can persist, making warm layers uncomfortable. Don’t fret—there is nothing to be embarrassed about the irregular function of your sweat glands, and there’s a way out: discover many ways to combat hyperhidrosis.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is sweating that goes beyond what is needed to regulate your body temperature. People who experience excessive sweating often find that regular antiperspirants and deodorants do not help. Hyperhidrosis appears in:

Feet

Palms

Underarms

It presents most often during extreme temperatures, and situations which cause nervousness in people, such as public speaking, dates, arguments or exams–it’s no wonder holiday parties can be a trigger. Another characterization that is most frustrating for sufferers of excessive sweating is that hyperhidrosis will present at any time, night or day, without warning or reason.

Improve Your Quality of Life

Hyperhidrosis can have a widespread and negative impact on your quality of life. Even winter is frustrating: layers of clothing are uncomfortable and ruined, confidence is shot, and sufferers often experience anxiety around when excessive sweating will present again. It does not have to be this way!

Take Action

There are ways to change your relationship with sweating. Cut back on spicy foods, alcohol, and cigarettes. These are all triggers for sweating, and while hyperhidrosis will persist through a more regular diet, a reduction of these “vices” can have a great impact on your body’s temperature control.

Botox Can be the Answer

Sufferers of hyperhidrosis rejoice that Botox treatments are successful in greatly reducing the excessive amount of sweat they have come to know as a way of life. Consider the miraculous good that treatments can do for your quality of life this social holiday season and for the rest of the year, every year.
